Okay, let’s tackle this. So Janardhan has a Master’s degree in Computer Science and over 8 years of experience in IT. He’s worked in cloud computing, cybersecurity, and data analytics, which are in-demand skills. Location is San Ramon, CA, which is in the Bay Area, known for tech giants like Google and Facebook. IT professionals with similar skills and experience in the Bay Area can charge higher rates. Maybe around $150–$250 per hour. Considering his education and experience, I’ll estimate around $175, which is a bit lower than the average for a senior IT professional in the Bay Area, but still competitive.
